TALES FROM THE PHOTO PIT: M83

Driving in the rain is usually pretty therapeutic, unless you're driving in San Francisco because thats probably more scary than any haunted house or horror movie I've experienced. Of course, this didn't stop me from driving from the North Bay to photograph M83, who made me forget the horrors of stoping at the top of slippery San Francisco hills and walking a mile in the rain once I finally found parking near the Bill Graham Auditorium.

The whole show was basically one giant dance party and the bands live energy was contagious. I still can't get the bands newest single " Do It, Try It," out of my head. Even the calmer songs like "Wait," off Hurry Up, We're Dreaming had the crowd chanting and cheering.

TALES FROM THE PHOTO PIT: Good Charlotte

Growing up, I had photos of Good Charlotte plastered all over my binder. In true eight grade fashion, I listened to The Young and The Hopeless on repeat as though the album's home was in my cheap white boombox covered in band stickers. It was nostalgic photographing a band I listened to in my early teens. The most surprising part was seeing people my age running around moshing and crowd surfing.  
​
I had a hard time finding parking, but made it just in time to catch the end of  Set Your Goals, which was great because the band is always a blast to catch live. Next was The Story So Far—who photographers only got to shoot for one song because crowd suffers kept swarming into the photo pit.

Next was Good Charlotte, who I found myself humming along to as I photographed. I'm not sure if frontman Joel Madden heard me, it's doubtful as I was next to the giant speakers near the stage, but he stoped right in front of me and posed for a shot.

Though it'd been a while since I saw Good Charlotte live, the band members still had the same amount of energy they did back in 2006 when I last saw them. After I was done photographing them, I went up to the balcony to watch the show but couldn't help but run back to the floor after a few songs to join the mosh pit, camera bag and all.

TALES FROM THE PHOTO PIT: Bloc Party

"This Modern Love," by Bloc Party was the soundtrack to all of my shitty high school romances. I loved the song more than I can ever admit to loving any of the high school boys I dated. 

So, of course once I jumped at the chance of photographing the band. The concert was at Mezzanine in SF. There was no photo pit,  so I had to wiggle my way past a sold out concert floor. I think that gave my photos a more intimate feel and capture the concert from the crowds perspective.
